Dont gatekeep retail and everyday people from having fair access to investments.

I have invested in leveraged funds for many years. I believe in the importance of freedom and certainly do not want to see my investment choices to become limited. These funds play an important role in the economy, which is currently undergoing various issues around the world. Limiting our investment choices will only cause worse financial issues.

People has the the right to deal their investment any way they want.

Its should not be up to scrupulous Washington Bureaucrats to decide what I can and cant invest in. It should be up to to those who purchase and sell public securities. I have done research into every security that I have purchase and have kept prospectuses of each one. I have also read literature regarding investing.

This feels like a way for government to pick and choose which stocks are going to be purchased by the public, and which ones arent. That would make for more insider trading and ruin 401ks, IRAs and personal brokerage accounts for smaller investors like myself.

I don't approve of this as an ameryi have the right to invest as I please.

The federal government needs to get out of our lives. All of the parental stuff has to stop. Please do not let the regulators go this far. STOP LIMITING MY RIGHTS INCLUDING MY RIGHT TO INVEST AS I SEE FIT.

As an experienced and knowledgeable individual investor, I strongly oppose any restrictions for the adult investors to invest in public investments including but not limited to stock options, leverage and inverse fund. The adult investors themselves instead of FINRA or another people shall select and decide the type of the public investments to the best of their interest and investment goals. Sincerely, Wan-Chuan Yin, Schwab account holder [REDACTED] 

As an MBA, I understand the importance of investment and knowledge of investment. Regulation of retail investment is not appropriate. As a business professional with financial knowledge - these rule changes have will have little to no impact on me. Others, however will be harmed by them.

As a free market society - we should have more freedom in what we are allowed to do with our money vs less freedom. Financial freedom should be attainable by all, not only select individuals.

Hello,
My name is Christopher Francis Lewis Patterson. I am an non-traditional, first generation undergraduate Business Information Systems Major communicating to you in the midst of finals at CSUDH Dominguez Hills in Carson, California. There’s a lot of other details about me that you may find interesting relating to my upcoming dialogue, but that’s not what this comment is about.

Ladies and gentlemen, I urge you to not amend the rules regarding complex investment products like leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am an individual retail investor for whom these products are a necessary tool to manage risk in my portfolio. Many investors use them to hedge.
There exists many safeguards to prevent rampant speculation, and the rules in place as well as the efforts of retail broker dealers are working.
Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss my personal situation and opinion regarding this proposed rule change.
